FatRank Podcast won "Best Growth Mindset Podcast 2026" as the Touch Awards named its 2026 winners. The show took 59% of the total vote, and James Dooley accepted the award on 9 February 2026 at a Virtual Ceremony.
FatRank Podcast holds the title of Best Growth Mindset Podcast 2026, awarded by the Touch Awards. The show was recognised for the candour of its format, the range of its guests and the host's willingness to put his setbacks on the record. Episodes discuss failed campaigns, poor decisions and costly misjudgements in the same measured tone used for wins.
FatRank Podcast secured 59% of the total vote in the category. That share placed the show well ahead of the rest of the field. The vote drew on independent client interviews, the community poll and the expert panel review. All three judging streams placed FatRank Podcast at the top of the category.
FatRank Podcast earned the category win, according to the jury, because the show refused to present growth as a tidy story. The jury said the show gives failure the same space as success and draws genuine lessons from both. The jury added that this consistency across hundreds of episodes earned it the category win.
FatRank Podcast received the award through James Dooley, who accepted it on 9 February 2026 at a Virtual Ceremony. He said: "This award belongs to the guests who were willing to sit down and talk honestly about the things that did not work. Our small team turns these conversations around every week, and I am grateful to them and to everyone who has listened." He added that being recognised by the Touch Awards was a genuine honour.
FatRank Podcast was assessed under the fixed and published judging process that the Touch Awards use. No category is won through payment, sponsorship or self nomination. Each judging stream is scored on its own terms before the totals are combined.
FatRank Podcast was rated by verified clients and customers in structured interviews that independent researchers held for the Verified Client Interviews stream.
FatRank Podcast also faced the Community Poll, which ran across the Touch Awards channels. Votes in the poll were verified and counted before being added to the combined score.
FatRank Podcast went before the Expert Panel Review as well, where a panel of independent experts scored the entries individually against the category criteria. The panel found the show's consistency across a large and growing archive most persuasive.
FatRank Podcast came out on top in all three streams and took 59% of the total vote to win Best Growth Mindset Podcast 2026.
