Tyson Lerfald

My name is Tyson Lerfald, Founder and CEO of YoBot® — a fully automated AI platform designed to help entrepreneurs and businesses streamline operations, scale efficiently, and reclaim their time through intelligent automation.

The journey to building YoBot came from a season of significant personal and professional adversity. While the specific challenges vary for everyone, the core message is universal: tough times can be a catalyst for extraordinary growth. My story is one pretty damn good one of rebuilding from the ground up — and using that momentum to create systems that now power results for others.

If your audience values thoughtful, real-world conversations around:

• AI automation that drives real results — not just hype
• The mindset required to lead through uncertainty
• How to transform adversity into sustainable momentum

…then I’d love the opportunity to contribute. My goal isn’t just to share what we’ve built — it’s to inspire others navigating their own hard chapters to realize what’s possible.
Happy to send over talking points or a brief intro video if helpful.
Thank you for your time and consideration,

Tyson Lerfald is the founder and CEO of YoBot®, a fully automated AI platform built to streamline operations for small businesses — handling sales, quoting, onboarding, billing, support, and follow-up without writing a line of code. But YoBot wasn’t just a business idea — it was born out of personal adversity.

After running a successful semi-trailer manufacturing company and launching his own dealership, Tyson stepped back from it all to focus on family. A devastating custody battle and years without contact with his daughter brought him to rock bottom — leading to a fight with depression and alcohol. Through that pain, Tyson found sobriety and purpose.

Now over 3 years sober, Tyson is using his experience to build tools that help others avoid burnout by scaling their companies without adding headcount. With features like the YoBot® Command Center™, real-time ROI tracking through Botalytics™, and automated cost-cutting with the SmartSpend Dashboard™, he’s showing founders that automation isn’t about replacing people — it’s about empowering them.

Tyson shares raw stories of grit, rebuilding, and the future of lean entrepreneurship — with a voice that’s equal parts founder, fighter, and forward-thinker.
