⁸See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.

Career Moves

The Bad Guy

“Career Moves” is episode #444a of the Adventures in Odyssey audio series. It was written by Marshal Younger, and originally aired on April 29, 2000.

Summary

Bart Rathbone takes Nathaniel Graham on as an apprentice and teaches him how to run a business.

Plot

It's another Career Day in Odyssey, and Nathaniel Graham gets the opportunity to work with Bart Rathbone. After Whit cautions Nathaniel on listening to advice, Bart begins to give Nathaniel advice, including selling at any cost. On one assignment, Nathaniel convinces a customer to buy some batteries, claiming they are the best, though he never uses them. The customer comes back later and demands a refund because the batteries were defective. Nathaniel agrees to give him a refund, which causes Bart to make Nathaniel stop working. Whit mentions to Nathaniel that it is important to discern who your advice comes from.

This plot section is too short and should be expanded. »

Discussion Questions

• Why was Nathaniel so impressed with Bart's selling techniques at first?
• What do you think are the differences between the way Bart runs his business and the way Whit runs his?

• This epsode has just three named characters: the fewest of any episode since the Family Portraits episode #FP08: “The Letter”.
