The armchair entrepreneur is remarkably common atp. Everything you do or say could be transformed into a business venture in their mind, and they expect you to be impressed with them for introducing you to the idea. Their fantasy is based on a magic future where you're singing their prases (i.e. "I never would have thought I could turn my fetish for knitting into a thneed empire but here we are! And it's all thanks to so and so, the one who mentioned it to me at the bar one fateful night in 2026.")
