Let’s get one thing straight: Binod is not a motivational speaker. He hates the label—and for good reason. Those talks? Big on hype, light on substance. Binod’s keynotes are the opposite: sharp, practical, and packed with hard truths your audience needs to hear.

His style? Think real-world experience meets no-nonsense advice, with a shot of humor and adventure. Whether he’s tackling leadership, career pivots, or personal growth, Binod delivers insights that stick—and push people to act.

Binod brings serious credibility. He’s held leadership roles at KPMG, EY, and Nakheel, where he helped raise the world’s largest convertible Islamic bond. Later, he co-founded Genesis, a financial training firm he scaled and sold to Kaplan, a $2 billion global powerhouse.

He’s a Chartered Accountant, a CFA charterholder, and holds a Level 7 Coaching & Mentoring qualification from ILM. He’s also the author of Let’s Get Real: 42 Tips for the Stuck Manager, and a regular guest on Bloomberg and CNBC.

But Binod’s not all business. He’s a hardcore adventurer who’s summited 13 mountains across three continents (including Kilimanjaro and Elbrus), cycled punishing routes like Manali to Leh (463 km), and completed multiple marathons. His personal grit shows up in every talk.

What makes him different? He simplifies the complex, keeps it real, and leaves audiences fired up to make meaningful changes. No fluff. No clichés. Just impact.

Bottom line: If you’re after a keynote speaker who challenges, connects, and delivers practical value—Binod Shankar is your guy.

Cade Bradford Knudson is a financial professional with tremendous experience managing multi-million dollar portfolios for various clients across the broader financial industry. While working for hedge funds, he has learned various skills, including quantitative analysis, relative valuations, and macroeconomic analysis. He spends a significant amount of time analyzing financial trends, valuing different companies, and looking for investment opportunities on behalf of his clients. He also keeps his eyes open, learning from some of the top professionals in the industry, and applying everything he knows to his own career. This steady approach helps him focus on process, risk control, and clear communication.

Cade Knudson of Denver set his sights on the business world early. He noticed how people around him made decisions and looked for small ways to practice those habits. He graduated toward the top of his class in high school and went on to one of the top colleges in the country. In college, he took numerous business courses, held part-time jobs that taught accountability, and followed through on internships he used to network. Because the business world is incredibly competitive, particularly for those who want to work in equities, he aimed to build simple routines he could repeat—read carefully, test assumptions, and explain conclusions plainly.

After he finished college, he spent several years working. He wanted to apply what he learned, refine judgment, and earn trust with results. The hours were long, but the lessons were practical. By learning how to take lessons from the school and apply them in real life, he built many essential skills that he continues to use. He also got to work with various business clients, continuously generating positive returns on their behalf. That record helped him gain admission to one of the top graduate programs in the country and confirmed the value of preparation and steady execution.

He decided to go back to graduate school and attend DU. There, he distinguished himself from a lot of his peers, graduating magna cum laude from the program. The recognition opened doors, but the habits behind it mattered more: careful research, clear writing, and attention to risk. He immediately garnered the attention of some of the top firms in the industry, which allowed him to land an exceptional job. In his current role, he moves projects from planning to delivery, aiming for straightforward memos and measured position sizing.

Working with different teams has been an essential part of his development. He has shown an ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds, which helps him consistently meet deadlines and requirements for client deliverables. He tries to listen first, ask specific questions, and keep meetings centered on next steps. When results arrive, he reviews what worked, notes what did not, and adjusts his process.

Service is part of his week. Cade Knudson of Denver regularly donates to a safe house for domestic violence victims in Denver. He also supports a food bank in the Rocky Mountains. Many people in the area do not have access to a steady supply of fresh food, and he helps the organization maintain resources so neighbors can count on a nutritious meal. These efforts are practical and local, focused on steady help rather than headlines.

Outside of work, he spends time outdoors. Denver offers easy access to mountains, and he takes advantage of that. During the winter, he often skis at nearby resorts. As seasons change, he turns to fishing and fly fishing for quiet and patience. He also spends time with family and friends exploring some of the Rocky Mountains’ most beautiful hiking and biking trails.

Even though his job is demanding, he tries to gather with loved ones during the holidays and check in during the year. He enjoys mentoring people interested in finance, sharing simple practices that helped him start. The goal is consistent: do the work carefully, keep learning, and humbly serve clients and the community. This path continues to guide Cade Bradford Knudson in the financial sector.
