For Troy Kilpatrick, Executive Director of Rapid City's Journey Museum & Learning Center, life has been a very meaningful adventure. In particular, Troy's life has been a "journey" which has led him to ultimately lead (what many would consider) a world-class museum into a new age and a new paradigm! The Journey Museum and Learning Center has so much to offer to its visitors, we had to record an "overtime edition" of Amplify RC in order to capture the truly magnetic energy that reverberates throughout this MUST-SEE attraction!
