What do AI-powered business communication, a dance studio, and workplace trust have in common?
For Lilian Sanada, co-founder & Chief Innovation Officer of Sanada Labs and founder & CEO of Dance Floor, the connection is human behaviour. Across her ventures, she designs experiences that reduce friction, create connection, and make positive routines easier to sustain.
In the latest episode of Skin in the Game with Debbie Go, we explore what human-centred innovation looks like when it moves beyond a buzzword and into daily practice.
✨Lilian’s insight is especially timely: Technology creates opportunity. Adoption creates value.
At Sanada Labs, that means challenging assumptions before building solutions. The team spends real time with users, and design AI around actual routines. Lilian points to Vox to Go, an AI communication platform built by fellow Stanford GSB LEAD alum Guilherme Scarance. Before building the product, the team listened to small-business owners and observed how they communicated with customers. They found that many had compelling stories and expertise but struggled to articulate why customers should choose them.
At Dance Floor, the same behavioural lens takes a different form. It’s less a traditional dance class and more a welcoming, judgment-free space where people reconnect with movement, energy and tech that helps them notice emotional growth over time.
We also talk about:
🔹 Why technology creates opportunity, but adoption creates value
🔹 What shifts when leaders dance together and see people before titles
🔹 How to pursue meaningful impact without normalising exhaustion as commitment
🔹 Why curiosity often guides better than certainty during career transitions
