As intense of a competitor as Lashley can be in the ring, he is equally as intense outside of it when it comes to being successful. His passion to grow the Lashley name into something more than the identity of a champion in the ring and in the octagon. It is apparent that he wants to build his name and brand to represent more. This started in the summer of 2009 when Lashley announced The Lashley Network.

It was an entrepreneurial effort that would act as the umbrella for outlets beyond just wresting. He created a website, nutritional store, and has means of connecting through social media available as well. His overall goal in doing this was to help make his name prevalent in mixed martial arts. He also knew that it was just as important to be recognized for his accomplishments outside the ring as his success within. The Lashley Network appears to be just the tip of the iceberg for what he wants to achieve.
