In this inspiring episode of the None of Your Business Podcast, we sit down with Ralph Zucker, the visionary President of Somerset Development, to explore his transformative work at Bell Works. Once a vacant Bell Labs site, Bell Works is now a bustling "MetroBurb" that redefines suburban living by integrating office spaces, retail, dining, wellness, and community under one roof.

Ralph shares his journey from residential development to spearheading this monumental project, his philosophy of "new urbanism," and the risks and rewards of taking on such a massive undertaking. From humble beginnings in Lakewood, NJ, to building ecosystems that foster creativity, collaboration, and growth, Ralph’s story is as inspiring as the spaces he creates.

Tune in to hear how his passion for walkable communities, integrity-driven leadership, and a touch of divine intervention have shaped his career—and how Bell Works has become a thriving hub for people to live, work, and connect.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a real estate enthusiast, or just someone who loves a good underdog story, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration.
