By: AC Bergen-Fischer

Turn Up The AC takes an introspective, retrospective, and sometimes biographical look at the roots of our personal philosophies. We explore the motivations behind our realizations. Anyone who listens will quickly notice that we typically leave our stories open-ended. This approach allows listeners to personalize the experience. Turn Up The AC encourages people to explore how they think, and not just what they think. www.acfischer.com ( http://www.acfischer.com )
