Your Real-Life Playbook: A Student's Playbook for Money, Decisions & Adult Life - Hardcover

Collins, Austin: - Austin Collins graduated from Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee, with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. During college, he became licensed in health and life insurance and gained early exposure to personal finance, risk management, and long-term planning. He has spent the past 14 years working in industrial automation, working closely with manufacturers, engineers, and business owners, gaining firsthand experience in how financial decisions, discipline, and planning affect long-term outcomes in both business and life. Austin also holds a real estate license, which he uses to flip properties, purchase rental properties, and build homes for resale. This hands-on experience has given him practical insight into mortgages, cash flow, debt management, and wealth-building through real assets. As a husband and father of two, Austin became increasingly aware of how little practical financial education students receive before entering adulthood. Your Real-Life Playbook was created to bridge that gap by giving students a realistic, hands-on way to understand money, decisions, and the long-term impact of everyday choices. Austin lives in Tennessee with his wife, daughter, and son.
