The claim, plainly

Stig Brodersen's podcast, We Study Billionaires (The Investor's Podcast), ranked around number 17 in the iTunes Business category in January 2016.

Assessment

Stig Brodersen claimed on or around January 24, 2016, that his podcast, We Study Billionaires (The Investor's Podcast), ranked around #17 in the iTunes Business category. While independent records confirm the podcast was active and popular in early 2016, historical point-in-time iTunes category chart data for late January 2016 is not documented in publicly accessible chart databases or archives. Because the claim relies on unarchived ephemeral ranking data that cannot be independently verified through public records, the claim is unresolvable.

Independent historical ranking logs from iTunes/Apple Podcasts for late January 2016 are not publicly archived in third-party chart databases such as Chartable or iTunesCharts.net.
Brodersen's self-reported statement on episode 141 of the Top Founders podcast is the sole source for the specific #17 rank, which cannot be corroborated by independent public records.
