Shoutout to a random vendor at a networking meetup

I was at a small entrepreneur mixer in Austin last month and this guy selling handmade leather journals just walked up and asked me what my biggest fear in business was. He listened for 10 minutes without interrupting or pitching his stuff, then just said 'keep going, you're closer than you think.' Has anyone else had a random stranger give them the exact push they needed at a networking event without wanting anything back?

Honestly I think that story sounds a little too perfect. Most vendors at networking events are trying to sell you something, not give you a free therapy session.
