Dream Impossible! with Unity Stoakes

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” — Nelson Mandela

Dream Impossible! is Unity Stoakes’ personal journal for curious changemakers, creators, and builders who believe that the future is made, not awaited — that the seemingly impossible is the canvas of real possibility.

This space is dedicated to ideas that expand imagination, provoke fresh perspectives, and illuminate the pathways between emerging technologies and human potential. From AI and neurotech to health innovation, wearables, design, and culture — this journal explores how exponential tools and bold thinking can be used to create positive impact at scale.

Why This Journal Exists

The world is in the midst of one of the deepest inflection points in human history — where powerful technologies converge with human systems, values, and aspiration. At times like these, narratives matter as much as tools; vision matters as much as velocity.

Dream Impossible! is a place to interrogate the edge — the space where curiosity meets courage, and where what seems impossible slowly becomes real.

About Unity Stoakes

I’m a builder at the intersection of technology, health, and human potential — someone who has spent decades thinking about what the future could be, and helping build toward it.

Over the past 30 years, I’ve founded, scaled, and stewarded platforms and communities designed to unlock new forms of collaboration and impact. Most notably, I co-founded StartUp Health, a global ecosystem uniting entrepreneurs, investors, and institutions around ambitious Health Moonshots focused on challenges like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and extending healthy human lifespan.

In addition to my mission at StartUp Health, my work spans catalyzing dynamic communities, writing and speaking about frontier ideas, and collaborating with a small number of founders, investors, and institutions through my private practice, UNITAS X — particularly at moments of technological and organizational inflection.

This journal is where I step back from execution to explore the ideas, questions, and narratives shaping what comes next.
