When I lived in Vancouver, my guest today and I once made plans to meet for coffee on Robson Street. Our shoot ran long that day at EP. Running behind, I raced across downtown, trying to get to my meeting. I was 10 minutes late. I was prepared to apologize profusely, to make it up to Dr. Zentner. But when I got there, Dr. Zentner was already gone.

Dr. Z. (Ali to me) does not suffer fools. Never has. Never will. I was angry with Dr. Z. for ditching. Sometimes people get stuck at work, I told myself. But I also respected the fact that she ditched. It was her choice, and it was a strong one. Our friendship has been difficult, to say the least. But there is, as you will hear in our conversation today, great love and respect between us.

Dr. Zentner is married to a veteran game developer at Relic Entertainment (Jason Brackman). She is one of the most successful, confident people I have ever met. Yet she’s also fallable and real and vulnerable, too. There’s never been anyone in my life like her. So, buckle up — today’s interview is funny, intelligent, and embarrassingly honest.
