    In most situations I’d think you meant “boost his ego” but in this case, I think “boast” is more accurate.

      Haha yeah. I had started to write the sentence about him boasting about his deal making skills, but it felt clunky so I changed it. Clearly I didn’t catch that I hadn’t changed it to boost, but your right, somehow it works.
