Kanji Low’s story is the modern immigrant dream with a tech twist. Born in New Zealand to Malaysian parents, he hit a turning point in 2017 while stuck under a corporate ceiling. Watching long-time colleagues discuss raises and retirement made him pause.

What followed was more than a career shift. It was a full reinvention. Kanji moved from corporate IT to coaching, then fully embraced AI when ChatGPT arrived. Within two years, he was hosting AI events in Malaysia and building Synapse AI, his agency helping businesses tap into artificial intelligence.

The impact speaks volumes. One accounting client made an extra $90,000 in just 45 days through AI-driven email systems. But for Kanji, the real transformation was not just in the technology. It was in shifting his mindset.

What we explored:

• The exact moment that pushed him from corporate comfort to entrepreneurial uncertainty

• How to rewire your personality for business success (he calls it "method acting for entrepreneurs")

• Why being open to learning trumps everything else in business

• The specific AI strategies that generated $90K in 45 days

• His simple script for landing speaking gigs at major events

• Why AI amplifies rather than replaces human capabilities

  
  

Kanji's approach to AI isn't about replacing human connection - it's about scaling what already works. He uses AI for the heavy lifting so humans can focus on what they do best: building relationships and closing deals.

His advice for AI skeptics? Start with your biggest pain point. "It's the pain of change or the pain of staying the same," he says. "Which pain do you want to choose?"
