Pretty much anywhere @markpollard hangs out is worth looking at.
His Sweathead podcast offers great conversations with likeminded people:

And the Sweathead FB group is turning into a great network for learning from others: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sweathead/

The @itsopenstrategy website is currently down, but here's a brilliant Google Doc with all of its resources in one place.
This site constantly inspires me and gets me unstuck. Use it wisely. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1C1ckcDHTtiitwJB93-vMHTv9BCGX1OxWKoBA1LlFgg0/edit#gid=0

@juliancole is another who dedicates a lot of time opening up the often closed world of strategy and planning. His 'Planning Dirty' newsletter is great.
Here's a list of 'Strategy Mate' resources he put together that I find very valuable: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1I08LEFWiETgmxXP4FnseXLxLpOTTP3nODg4sy_eI9eA/edit#slide=id.g32c0dea622_0_61

@jaapgrolleman has put together another great long list of quotes, books, links and general planning goodness here: http://jaapgrolleman.com/resources/
Reading the full back catalog of @mweigel's blog is pretty much a masters in thinking about strategy and planning: https://martinweigel.org/
And the podcast that I find most valuable in this space is 'Real Famous' which features long form interviews with some of the best in the business: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/real-famous/id1132996426
Of course there are plenty of books to buy and read too, but the above stuff is all available free and easy online.
So if you think you might be interested in the area, start there and expand!

Anything else to add to this long list of great stuff?
