For a call that suits both sides, look at 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in São Paulo / 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Chicago. Chicago is 2 hours behind São Paulo, but you still share a generous 8 hours of overlap, so scheduling is easy and there's room to move a meeting when you need to. These times hold for most of the year, but Chicago's daylight saving (which São Paulo doesn't use) shifts them by an hour twice annually.
