Whatever you think you know about the career path for corporate lawyers you can forget on the way to meet Philip M. Walden Jr. at Turner Broadcasting System’s headquarters on Techwood Avenue at 10th Street in Atlanta.

The first order of business, although it’s nearly 5 p.m., is a strong cup of coffee, straight, at Turner’s employee dining area, the Station Break. A tour of sorts ensues. Of Turner’s corporate headquarters. And of Walden’s rocking and rolling career.
