15 min levels is really quick, most live tournaments are 30 or more, so you are going to have to gamble to build a stack. Make sure that when you do the pot is significant, otherwise you'll just be getting in flip after flip and eventually you will lose. Once you do build a stack it's important not to gamble it away because every BB will be extremely valuable as you get to the later levels. Look for good spots to squeeze, like out of the blinds and on the button vs multiple limpers.

Everything TTA just said is very relevant. Especially the part about 15 minute levels being really quick. Its gonna feel faster than a five minute online turbo. Pay attention to who limp calls and who limp folds. If you got a few players in the pot don't be afraid to 3bet squeeze, or jam if they limp/fold. Be hesitant to call off your stack, but don't be afraid to shove. In my recent live tourney I was all in 20ish times after getting crippled to 10 big blinds and being short all tourney. I only got called 4 times, sooo just pick good spots to shove where your most likely getting folds and if you get called you are 40%+.

Play good cards, pay attention to what other players cards are and remember what they bet/raise with what. Try to double double your stack every hour. Wagon you know how to win just be patience and pick your spots well good luck sir.
