We kick off the new year with this month's cover, CNBC's Seema Mody who is the Global Markets Reporter on the network. This month's cover took place in the Lower East Side's Lamia Fish Market which is known as a brunch and evening destination. We showcase fun looks that are perfect as we continue through winter's transition as well as checking out this fun restaurant. We sit down with Seema to find out about she became interested in her career, her favorite stories and markets that she has covered as well as what she enjoys doing when she is off air. ATHLEISURE MAG: When did you realize that you wanted to be a journalist? SEEMA MODY: I should probably thank Nani (my grandmother) for my passion for storytelling. Growing up, I spent many of my summers visiting my grandparents in Ludhiana, Punjab. One of my fondest memories is sitting on their roof, drinking masala chai and listening to Nani talk about Indian politics and the country’s fight for independence. Those conversations lit a fire in my belly that—after a couple of twists and turns—slowly evolved into a career in journalism. AM: What is it about finance and specifically global markets that drew you to your coverage area? Was this always an area that you felt you wanted to work in? SM: I was always interested in foreign policy, but it was during my time in London, where I previously relocated to be co-anchor of CNBC’s “Worldwide Exchange,” that I learned how to look at international affairs through the lens of financial markets. When I returned to New York, I was named CNBC’s Global Markets reporter. Part of my job is to wake up every day and report on how international stories, like U.S.-China trade and Brexit, are impacting investors’ portfolios and multinational companies around the world. AM: We know that you have been with CNBC for quite a few years here in the U.S., as well as London and India. What has your

journey been since you have been at the network? What shows do you most frequently appear on currently? SM: I have had a rather unique journey at CNBC. I started at CNBC TV-18 in Mumbai where I reported on India’s economy. While growing up I frequently traveled to India to visit family, this was my first time actually living there–I’m from Portland, Oregon. Starting fresh in Mumbai inspired me to work around the clock, build relationships with CEOs and break stories. After one year and a lot of persistence, I landed an opportunity with CNBC Business News in New York. What’s great is I am still able to leverage the contacts I made in India; in fact, I have covered its last two elections for the network. I’m passionate about U.S.-India relations and reporting on the decisive change in India’s economic trajectory, as well as the major obstacles facing the current administration. AM: In addition to your global policy beat, you also cover travel, including hotels, cruises and online travel operators and the industrials. What do you like about this category? SM: Both travel and industrials provide a good read on the global economy and how businesses make decisions on investments in markets outside the U.S. It all ties into the overarching story I aim to tell about the intersection of foreign policy and Wall Street. AM: Tell us about ‘European Close,’ the daily segment which you host on “Squawk Alley.” SM: If you’re ever wondering what’s happening in Europe, then tune in to CNBC at 11:30AM EST for the latest and greatest! The segment synthesizes complex European topics–from Brexit to ECB meetings—for our global audience. AM: What is your process for preparing ahead of interviews and stories?

SM: Lots of reading, tweeting and reaching out to valuable sources that give me unparalleled access to movers and shakers in the industry. AM: What have been some of your favorite stories that you have reported on? SM: I recently reported on the killing of Iran’s powerful general Qassim Suleimani by a U.S. drone strike and the impact it had on the western world’s relationship with the Middle East. This is a great example of an event that has had a direct, traceable effect on foreign relations and the global economy. Also, my role as correspondent often leads to special opportunities. Last year, I covered Lyft’s highly anticipated IPO at the Nasdaq and reported on the complicated process involved in taking the ride-hailing company public. When China first unveiled retaliatory tariffs on the U.S., the Chinese ambassador to the U.S., Cui Tiankai (he is also also Special Envoy to President Xi) gave me an exclusive interview where I pushed him on topics like intellectual property and currency manipulation. I also love reporting from the field; from getting an inside look at Amtrak’s new modernized fleet in Delaware, to speaking to sweet potato farmers in North Carolina about the impact of tariffs, interacting with Americans across the nation about the state of business is truly gratifying. AM: What are 3 companies/brands, topics or CEOs/government officials that you are interested in covering/interviewing that you have yet to cover? SM: The rise of emerging market nations has also been a strong interest mine. Some interviews I hope to one day have include: 1.) Government official: Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro 2.) CEO: Tesla CEO Elon Musk and 3.) Athlete: Serena Williams. AM: For those who want to better understand the impact that foreign policy has on global markets (but are intimidated by its intricacies), how would you suggest they go about educating themselves so that they can engage in these conversations?

SM: Foreign policy can be overwhelming. Start with one region that interests you and obsess over it. Learn everything you can about the country’s government structure, economic data, key players and issues. Reach out to thought leaders and ask for help. Engage with others on social media. We live in the age of Twitter and learning how to construct thoughts in 140-characters is sometimes more valuable than being able to file a three-page thesis on a topic. AM: Spanning all of your coverage areas–global policy, travel--what are the three stories you’re watching for 2020? SM: The 2020 election will have a profound impact on foreign policy and the U.S.’s relationship with the rest of the world. Additionally, Airbnb has shaken up the hospitality industry and changed the way many millennials travel. The company’s IPO this year will be one to watch. Lastly, the Coronavirus outbreak has placed China at the center of a huge crisis. Efforts to contain the virus could prove to be a major test the country’ sgovernment and, in the meantime, billions of dollars are at stake as major companies like Nike and Starbucks close stores on the mainland. AM: What does a typical day or week look like for you, whether you’re on-set or in the field? SM: No two days look the same for me but I’m always on the go and on the phone. Thank goodness for AirPods and coffee! AM: We know that you love tennis. How long have you played it, and what do you enjoy most about it? SM: To win a match, tennis requires technique and strategy–it’s a unique mix of chess-like thinking and endurance. I played competitively in high school, and I still play in the city. Plus, when I go home home my dad always makes sure we spend time on the tennis court. He still has the ability to place shots with

We also have a whole fish baked in salt, @SeemaCNBC served tableside with mallets! We photographed this cover story with Seema Mody in the Lower Eat Side at Lamia's Fish Market. We sat down with Lamia Funti to talk about their dishes, epic brunches and what we can expect as we go from winter and begin to transition into the spring. ATHLEISURE MAG: We know that prior to Lamia’s Fish Market you had another restaurant – can you share more about this and what led you to launch this culinary destination?

The entire space took us two years to develop alongside designer Dara Young. We wanted the space to be upscale, yet approachable, juxtaposing experiential modernism with authentic nautical elements.

LF: The space was designed by Dara Young, Founder of Aviva Collective and 4FRONT Hospitality Development. Dara also designed the beautiful moss wall near our raw bar. The restaurant has three floors, and seven different dining areas, and I wanted each one to feel unique. Art has always been a passion of mine so I knew right away that I would want to incorporate many different artists into the space. We have innovative art installations at every turn including Will Kurtz, Brian Farrell, Michela Martello, Elle Gregg, John Coca, Dave Vasquez, Michael Delfino and Dara Young herself. Artist Michela Martello created the Lamia mural on the original brick wall textured with glimmering glass cabochons. Multi-disciplined visual artist Bryan Farrell painted a multi-dimensional mural in the private dining room. Both the Mezzanine, Private Room, and Grotto overlook the “Lamia” sculpture, created by visionary artist William Kurtz.

LF: We wanted to offer guests a unique cocktail menu that doesn’t exist anywhere else. We wanted to challenge ourselves to develop a cocktail menu that pairs well with seafood, that’s innovative and unlike any other.

LF: My two signature cocktails are Beach Front Views (sake, pineapple, orange, cinnamon, and lime) and the Mermaid Sangria, which is made with fresh berries and cinnamon. If you can handle a little kick, I also recommend our version of a Margarita, called the One Too Many Margaritas, and made with sake, mango, salted jalapeno, lemon and peppercorns.

SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW RITUALS > RESOLUTIONS

When you're focused on working out, it's important to optimize your hard work with your method of choice, recovery and proper nutrition. Ladders is a sports nutrition brand that offers premium supplements that is co-founded by LeBron James and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ladder's Chief Nutrition Officer, Adam Bornstein tells us about Ladder and their new challenge Rituals>Resolutions. ATHLEISURE MAG: LeBron James, his trainer Mike Mancias and Arnold Schwarzenegger coming together to create Ladder is a powerful combination. What led you to Ladder? ADAM BORNSTEIN: Ladder was one of those opportunities you get where you have no idea what it will become but it's worth all of the time and effort. I was a part of Ladder long before it was ever a brand and growing business. Years ago, after LeBron's cramping game - and Mike’s quest to find better supplements - I was contacted by Arnold Schwarzenegger to help formulate the initial Ladder products that were designed for LeBron. I’d known Arnold for years, and he had seen my approach to nutrition, which is one backed by quality, safety, and results. So, when the opportunity came to formulate something for LeBron, it was one of those projects that are incredibly exciting. When someone puts faith in you to create a supplement that will be used by one of the greatest athletes ever, you not only have to rise to the occasion, but you need to go above and beyond and make what you create so much better than anyone’s expectations. That was the original mission and continues to be what drives me every day at Ladder. AM: Tell us Ladder’s leading shakes and products? What’s the science behind it? AB: One of the best aspects of Ladder is we only create products that we know work. So, every single ingredient and every amount needs to be backed

up by numerous studies (on people, not animals), to say with confidence that it delivers results for the people that use the products. That means we don't have many products because only a few ingredients are undeniably effective. We have 2 protein powders (whey and plant), a Superfood Greens, and our Pre-workout (energy) product. With the protein, we tried to examine what makes protein effective, which is the amino acids. In order to unlock all of the benefits of protein - everything from muscle gain and fat loss, to even qualities like better hair, skin, and nails - you need a complete protein that is high in essential amino acids and BCAAs. Many proteins might look good on a label with how much protein it has, but it's using a low-grade protein that won’t deliver all of those benefits. For our Pre-Workout, we were very interested in a position paper by the International Olympic Committee that examined the most powerful performance supplements. Three ingredients stood out: caffeine, beta-alanine, and creatine. So, we built a product around that core and then added elements to help improve focus and ensure that the caffeine would cause a crash or jitters. And our Superfood Greens focuses more on the essential nutrients in your body things like magnesium or Vitamin D - that are very hard to get in your diet. AM: The Rituals>Resolutions Campaign sounds exciting and productive! What does it emphasize and focus on? AB: The Rituals>Resolutions campaign is designed to solve the age-old question of why it’s so hard for people to stick to their resolutions and see success. It's not that a resolution is a bad intention, but - by design - it’s set up to fail. Goals without systems can’t succeed. And the best way to build a system is to have a habit. And the best way to create habits that stick is to create a ritual that makes it easier for you

to repeatedly do behaviors that will lead to desired outcomes . Instead of having people do the same thing over and over again, we wanted to celebrate the rituals that create habits. Our goal at Ladder is to help anyone level up and better their best, and this is an important component of sharing how so many successful people are able to experience success at the highest level. AM: Tell us about the featured Challenge led by master trainer Mike Mancias. AB: We’re lucky at Ladder to have access to some of the best fitness pros in the world. And for the challenge, Mike Mancias worked with Alex Toussaint - a senior instructor at Peloton - to design a challenge that will improve all aspects of fitness. Together, Mike and Alex designed a workout that is a combination of strength and cardiovascular conditioning, requires minimal equipment, and is flexible so that anyone can fit the plan into their busy schedule. We know that after January, people start falling off with their goals. We wanted to make sure that we provided a challenging workout to keep people on track and offer the support of Mike and Alex to keep people motivated, working hard, and seeing results. AM: What’s the hashtag to get involved, support and follow along? AB: The Ladder Challenge really is for everyone. A big part of what Ladder does is it brings people together and builds a community so that people are not alone in their pursuit of living healthier and being more active. And the best part is it is driven by one of the best trainers in the world – who has worked with two of the most successful athletes in history – who are sharing insights and access to a wealth of information with anyone that wants it. Everyone can join the Ladder Challenge and engage with others taking the challenge socially using #LadderChallenge.

f o t r A e h k T c a n S e th

FOR THE ULTIMATE MEAL We enjoyed a fantastic A5 Wagyu experience here in NYC at HYUN. Whether you're enjoying their fantastic meat selection, cocktails or just the overall ambience, we suggest making your way to this culinary destination. ATHLEISURE MAG: Can you tell us about HYUN and what guests can expect when they come in to dine? HYUN: Hyun specializes in Japanese A5 Wagyu, offering high quality ingredients such as S-grade sea urchin and seasonal truffle mushroom. Our menu is well balanced and focuses on specific pairings with the A5 Wagyu, so our guests can get the best flavors of the beef. AM: Can you tell us the background of Chef Jae Kim? H: The name of our chef is Jae Kim. He is from South Korea and has three businesses in Korea including K-BBQ restaurant. Chef Kim moved to New York City from Korea three years ago to finish his PhD, but when he became homesick, he decided to bring a piece of home to New Yorkers, crafting the idea for HYUN to showcase the traditional time-honored Korean flavors of his homeland. AM: Can you tell our readers what Wagyu is, what A5 means and the kinds that you offer? H: Wagyu is Japanese cattle. Japan has a strict rule to grade A5 Wagyu. Wagyu can be graded by A (highest) to C and 5 (highest) to 1. “A to C” is the yield grade (A is above standard, B is standard, and C is below standard). How to grade “5 to 1” depends on marbling scale, color and the brightness and texture of the meat. So A5 is the highest grade given only to the finest Japanese cattle. AM: The tasting menu that we had was amazing and a great way to enjoy the progression of tastes, seasoning, Wagyu and

vegetables – can you share with us 3 signature dishes that you would suggest that we enjoy on our next visit. H: We have three signature dishes which are A5 Chef’s Cuts, Sot-bap and Chadoljjim. We have whole A5 cattle shipped from Japan, butchered and trimmed in house. So, we can have these special cuts that you cannot see in the regular market and different BBQ restaurants. We pick the best part of the cattle and serve it as Chef’s Cut. For example, we can divide Ribeye cap, Ribeye roll and Ribeye side strap in Rib loin. Even though we call it ribeye, every cut has a different texture and flavor. We want our guests to experi ence another level of the BBQ experience with Chef’s Cut. Our second dish is Sotbap, which is clay pot cooked rice with seasonal truffle mushroom and S-grade sea urchin from Japan Hokkaido. It is one of our best-selling dishes. We always use the best selection of sea urchin and truffle mushroom. Sot-bap has well-balanced flavors and great umami taste. Our third one is Chadol-jjim, which is our signature appetizer that comes with a wooden box. It is all steamed A5 beef brisket with perilla leaf and enoki mushrooms with a side of shitake mushroom and king oyster mushroom. We have three different dipping sauces (1. Yuzu ponzu: soy sauce, dashi, dried fish skin, lemon and orange. 2. Honey Soybean: honey, soybean paste. 3. Chili grape: White grape, serrano pepper, and apple vinegar.) AM: The salts, soy, wasabi and various sauces that you offered really allowed you to taste the dishes in a different way. We’re major fans of the wine salt – what are 3 seasonings that you suggest that those dining should try? H: We are trying to serve sauces or salts that pair best with each dish, especially the A5 wagyu. As you know, Japanese A5 wagyu is expensive. We want our guests to experience the best flavor of the A5 wagyu with our house made salts. I will suggest a sauce or salt for A5 wagyu such as wild wasabi and house made wine salt.

For lean beef, I would suggest black truffle salt. For any beefy flavor cuts, I will recommend our house made chaya sauce which has cabbage, chive, and soy sauce. AM: The cocktail menu had a number of sweet and savory options, what are 3 beverages that you suggest that we should try. H: We have three cocktails that are best sellers. The first one is called “From Jeju.” We use orange from Jeju island in Korea, and it has a refreshing and fruity flavor. The second is called “Mountain Water.” We use Hakkaisan ginjo sake and its flavor is citrusy and pairs well with our food. The third one is called “Cloud Remedy.” It is a smoky and earthy cocktail and has a little bit of citrus flavor. I personally think that it pairs very well with A5 wagyu beef. AM: We were told that you have plans to include an Omakase within your offerings. When will that take place and what can we expect to see offered? H: We are launching an A5 Wagyu Omakase soon. Like I mentioned, we get the whole A5 cattle from Japan so we can have main cuts and also secondary cuts. We are going to offer one appetizer soup, wagyu tartare, 11 different cuts of Japanese A5 wagyu, a savory accompaniment (rice bowl and soup) and a homemade dessert. We are also trying to give a new upscale Asian cultural experience to our guests with the Omakase service. AM: With Valentine’s Day taking place next month, are there any specials you will be offering that our readers should know about? H: We are going to have a Valentine’s Day special tasting menu with Rose pairing. We also have a few private dining rooms, which are cozy and romantic. It should be a truly special Valentine’s Day experience at HYUN this year! @_HYUNNYC
