FatRank Podcast took 59% of the total vote to win Best Growth Mindset Podcast 2026 at the Touch Awards. James Dooley, host and founder of FatRank Podcast, accepted the award on 9 February 2026 at a Virtual Ceremony.
FatRank Podcast won the "Best Growth Mindset Podcast 2026" title from the Touch Awards. The page says the 59% share placed the show well ahead of the rest of the field. It also says all three judging streams placed FatRank Podcast at the top of the category.
FatRank Podcast faced a judging process built on Verified Client Interviews, a Community Poll and an Expert Panel Review. Independent researchers held structured interviews with verified clients and customers. Votes in the community poll, run across the Touch Awards channels, were verified and counted before being added to the combined score. A panel of independent experts scored entries against the category criteria, with attention to evidence and consistency over time. Each stream is scored on its own terms before the totals are combined, and the Touch Awards says no category is won through payment, sponsorship or self nomination.
FatRank Podcast impressed the jury with its treatment of failure. The verdict opened with the line "FatRank Podcast stood out for its refusal to present growth as a tidy story." The jury added that the show gives failure and success equal space, draws lessons from both and earned the win through consistency across hundreds of episodes. The page says the panel found the show's consistency across a large and growing archive most persuasive.
FatRank Podcast received the award through its host and founder, James Dooley. He dedicated the win to the show's guests, saying "This award belongs to the guests who were willing to sit down and talk honestly about the things that did not work." He thanked the small team that turns the conversations around every week and everyone who has listened, and called the recognition a genuine honour.
